Some things are best left alone

I really didn't want to get out om my cosy warm bed this morning but hubby was getting bootsale withdrawal fever and persuaded me to go along even though it was minus 3 outside.

Only the foolish and the hardy were out this morning.

Our first find was this pair of stools.  I love them scratched paint and battered as they are. I am tempted to leave them alone.  What do you think ?  Would you buy them like this or would you prefer them all nicely painted ?

I am on a mission at the moment not to buy too much more china until I sell on the huge stock I already have but well when you see it, whats a girl supposed to do ?

Remember my gorgeous Pink spot Royal Vale  set ?  Look what I found today.  Sadly only a couple of pieces .

Selling china at vintage fairs is getting tough at the moment. Lots of other sellers competing for business.  I thought as I have a large selection of vintage silk and cashmere clothes I might try my hand selling some of those on.  When I saw this gorgeous vintage tapestry evening bag and tiny coin purse  I felt sure some pretty young thing would love it .  Hope so xx

Look at the teeny satin purse that came with the bag.  Imagine carrying your pennies in it.

Not old, Laura Ashley but such gorgeous colours.  Perfect for soft, romantic candlelight.

Not much this week.  It was far too cold to stay out but I am pleased with my little lot.

Linking up with the gorgeous Liz's MagpieMonday post 

For Sale

January has been a really busy month.  Catch up after christmas holidays with the family.  Then the dreaded accounts and tax return (always left until the last minute).  Lots of new stock to list on my other love www.allabouttheboys.co.uk  and now its time to turn my attention to my real love.  My gorgeous vintage homewares and reloved furniture business.  I am seriously considering renting some shop space, but until that dream is realised, I need to get listing in my Etsy store.

Some of the items coming soon :

Soooo pretty Limoges Cake plate

might be hard to part with this totally gorgeous trio

Thought it was about time I stopped hoarding and started selling some of my linens

Chandelier Envy

One of the things I love to do most in the world when I have a spare moment is to trawl through the many amazing American blogs I follow.  Americans really know how to "do" blogging and always seem to find the most extraordinary things.

I literally gasped when I came across the beautiful blog that is Maison Decor belonging to the talented Amy.  This chandelier is the stuff of dreams.  I have been searching for it all my life, I had it in my minds eye but have been unable to find it and then...... There it was !  Read her story about how she came across this exquisite  piece

Can you imagine living in such a home with such a thing of beauty ?   I am beyond envy .........
